Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for On-Premises Applications with Datawiza Access Proxy

MFA on premise

Applications on premise remain critical to business operations but often lack built-in support for modern security protocols like multi-factor authentication (MFA). Without MFA, these systems are vulnerable to breaches, compliance failures, and unauthorized access. Traditional integration methods require costly code changes or lengthy development cycles—a barrier many organizations cannot afford.

Datawiza Access Proxy eliminates these challenges, enabling enterprises to secure on-premises apps with MFA in minutes. Here’s how.

Datawiza Adding MFA to On-Premises App: How It Works

Datawiza Access Proxy (DAP) is deployed in front of your on-premises applications. Acting as a reverse proxy, DAP integrates with your preferred identity provider (IdP)—such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Duo, or Amazon Cognito—to enforce MFA, SSO, and granular access controls without modifying application code.

Deployment Flexibility:

  • Deploy DAP as a gateway or sidecar in your on-premises or cloud environment.
  • Supports on-premises systems like Oracle JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, Outlook Web Access (OWA), and custom apps.

Seamless Authentication Flow:

  • Users attempting to access an app are redirected to the IdP for MFA verification (e.g., SMS, security keys, or biometrics).
  • After authentication, DAP proxies requests to the application, ensuring only authorized users gain entry.
